Welcome to Barf Bag, a daily politics roundup to help you sort through the chaotic Trumpian news cycle.

Please enjoy the semi-fresh air while you can, before CO2 emissions and smog pollution choke us all to death.

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

In a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday, Trump—who has claimed, without evidence, that Obama wiretapped the Trump Tower—joked that former President Obama wiretapped her phones, too. “As far as wiretapping I guess by this past administration, at least we have something in common, perhaps,” he said to Merkel. The weird joke was an apparent reference to the 2010 revelation that the NSA, under Obama, tapped phones of Merkel and other world leaders.
